2 years in the waiting.....

When we moved to this house 2 years ago, we were told we had to locate our mailbox at the end of the street. The subdivision was new and the rural mail lady wouldn't come through until it was 75% full. That changed last year when the developer went bust and took off with no warning with all of our association fee's.

It's all water under the bridge now....

Monday starts actual mail delivery in the subdivision, so this weekend I got

THIS..................

So exciting.. See that little yellow dot right down at the bottom of the front corner?? That's a flag...Yep....as soon as the mail lady opens the mail box door this little flag will pop up and tell me that she has been there. Isn't that COOL???!!

To celebrate, we are having home made pizza and I am on #2 bud lite....

Happy Sewing,Nancy

PS did you notice no numbers?? no name on the mailbox?? The package of numbers/letters we picked up were solid black..(unlike the photo on the front which showed black letters on a white background)..so back to the store tomorrow...

I can understand your excitement! When we moved here, there was an awful mailbox with the pole set into the ground...backwards! I said the first thing I'd do is replace it because it was so ugly. Fast forward 6 years and for Mother's Day I got a new mailbox and pole. I was so excited I could hardly see straight! It's the little things, isn't it? :o)
